The VRN I'm using is 730809834, I am able to retrieve the obligations fine so I believe the authorization is working, I've read through the related bugs but nothing suggested has helped https://github.com/hmrc/vat-api/issues/893 https://github.com/hmrc/vat-api/issues/873

We are getting the same issue. Can this be looked at please (particularly given the recent changes made to the supported cipher suites which include the advice "If you can continue to test successfully, you don’t need to take any further action"; currently, we can't test successfully...)
